Honestly, how much is there to say about this record? "It's a generic piece of synthetic garbage!" "No, it's uplifting and ambitious!" Blah blah blah. You know what? Fall Out Boy made a pop record. Surprise!

Also, if you've ever made the "this is shit/not rock and roll, so the Save Rock and Roll title is stupid" statement, then I hope that you know that it is the furthest thing from witty because it is the most obvious thing you could possibly say about this album and you are shooting fish in a barrel.

This is a fantastic pop album, and I could see moving my rating up in a few months once it's
sunk in. The songs are catchier than herpes, and Patrick is on fucking fire through the
whole thing. I can see someone who actually took the title "Save Rock and Roll" from a band
that that's named a song "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part to Save The Scene
and Stop Going To Shows)" being disappointed, but they're probably pretty fucking stupid to
actually expect a pop band to "save rock and roll".

Naming the album "Save Rock & Roll" is seriously pissing me off right now, how dare they name it that? How dare they claim to be Saving Rock and Roll, when they are barely rocking to begin with? On the other hand, this is probably one of the purest and straightforward pop-rock albums I've heard in a few years. An interesting romp through pop-rock, that turned out to be more enjoyable then I'm willing to admit. And if there's any defense for the album title... If Black Veil Brides is considered mainstream rock, then Fall Out Boy is definitely saving it

As a pop album, Save Rock and Roll stands out among it's peers by managing to mix in guitars backed by people who actually know how to play. As a punk album this is a fucking disaster. Young Volcanoes in incredibly reminiscent of fun.'s We Are Young, but at the same time manages to be far more catchy. Save Rock and Roll is a fun track, though Elton John's low crooning seems just out of place with Stump. The Phoenix stands out as an amazing track both as a kick-off to the album and in isolation.

So many times throughout listening to this I was like WTF were they thinking? lol. This isn't a band anymore. I feel bad for the guitarists and drummer. They must be so bored while playing this shit live. It tends to be catchy and Patrick is a great singer, but this album is just BAD on so many levels. "My Songs Know What You Did" could be one of the worst songs ever created lol. Songs worth listening to more than once(and only a few times more than that): Pheonix, Alone Together, Death Valley, Volcanoes.

Fall out boy are fresh off of hiatus and are looking to make up for the lost over ambitious, yet underrated Folie A Deux and are looking to retain cash flow. While their worst record to date, Patrick Stump sounds better then ever.rThe Phoenix, Death Valley, Young Volcanoes, Rat A Tat (without c.love) and Save Rock and Roll are must haves for car crash hearts.

Not as bad as some make it out to be. That being said this is not a good comeback for Fall Out Boy. There are a handful of enjoyable songs, but the album also has its share of some low points for the band. Filler tracks, unsavory guest vocalists, not a lot of variation in sound from song to song, a lot of the songs following the same mid tempo beat; these are just some of the things that bog this album down. While the songs are poppy and catchy enough with big choruses, there's just something commercial about it all. Each song sounds like it's tailored to be ready for the radio or some advertisement. This isn't always a problem, but in this case mixed with the aforementioned issues it makes for a collection of songs that lack replay value. Even the band's performance is very bland (namely the drums) offering nothing really interesting instrumentally. Patrick's performance is the only thing that's consistently good throughout, but that's not enough to save this album.

These boys change like a phoenix, and their latest album is on fire... literally. Save Rock and Roll is - aside from "Rat a Tat" (featuring Hole's Courtney Love) - the complete opposite of what the release name suggests. Fall Out Boy are now empty shells of her former selves; what little dignity they had during the first four full-length albums has disappeared. In its place are hackeneyed pop sensibilities that stem from whatever's trending in the music industry, and none of it is any good. Catchy, sure, but not tolerable... Right about now, Pete Wentz and his cronies are crashing, but they're no wave.

I can't deviate what Fall Out Boy is now from what it was. It used to be one of the best pop punk units around, and now it's just pop. Trying to sell them as anything else is a waste of time. They've become something completely different.
